About Us

‘From fabric to flowers!’

Susan
I have always had a passion for art and design, but this developed more strongly after studying a two year full time Fashion Design course in North West London. After completing the course, I began my career as a Dress Designer for a company in London’s ‘fashionable’ West End..

Later, I continued to design garments for various well known companies within the London area.

Continuing along the creative path and several years on, I ran my own bridal business designing and making wedding and bridesmaid dresses for individual clients, solely on recommendations.

After relocating from London to Devon and being surrounded by beautiful countryside & nature, drawing on a strong design background, I moved on to develop another passion of mine ...
...to design with flowers!

Laura Sellars

After gaining qualifications in Floral Art, Floristry, Contemporary Floral Design & Teaching, I have been employed as a part time tutor at Newton Abbot Adult & Community Learning Centre for Devon County Council for nearly nine years, teaching accredited and recreational courses in floristry, flower arranging and floral design. I also run my own seasonal flower arranging workshops at a local venue. During these years I have created a wide range of floral designs for clients for all occasions, the vast majority however being weddings. Recently, I have trained my highly artistic daughter Laura, in the field of floristry and she has joined me so now we have a floral design ‘duo!’

Laura
Has an amazing natural ability to be creative. Throughout her childhood art work continually showed as her favourite school subject. Laura later achieved an A level in art and this has been the basis of her passion for art and design. Her young, bright approach to floristry is an inspiration to me.
